Atherton candidate Rose Hau has raised the most money of the four candidates running for three council seats in Atherton, according to campaign finance statements for the period July 1 through Sept. 30.
She reported $15,340 in contributions during the period, more than twice that raised by the next-highest fundraiser, Mike Lempres, who reported $7,098 in contributions.
The campaign finance reports were filed by Oct. 6.
The other candidates in the race are two incumbents: Rick DeGolia and Bill Widmer. Mr. DeGolia was elected in a special election in 2013 to serve out the remaining year in Jerry Carlson’s term after his resignation. Mr. Widmer was first elected in 2000.
Mr. DeGolia reported raising $5,376 during the filing period. However, he began the campaign with $13,475 in his coffers, left over from last November’s election. Mr. Widmer reported raising $5,072.
Mr. Lempres reported spending $12,594 during the period, the most of the four candidates. Ms. Hau reported spending $6,837; Mr. DeGolia, $5,890; and Mr. Widmer, $4,309.
